Sepsis Awareness Online Training Course

This Sepsis Awareness Course for social care gives an overview of sepsis and the key symptoms. It also identifies high-risk individuals and describes the basic response for when sepsis is suspected. Fast response to suspected sepsis cannot be overstated, and we include information that can help you in case you suspect sepsis.
The widespread awareness of sepsis is incredibly important, in particular for those who work with high-risk individuals. Sepsis is life-threatening and the earlier the symptoms are recognised, the greater chance the individual has of survival.
Who should take this Sepsis Awareness online training course?
This sepsis course has been designed specifically for people who want to know more about Sepsis. Whilst it provides a focus for people working in health and social care, it will also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to become more aware of sepsis, how to recognise it, and what to do in emergencies.
We offer our courses for your LMS as SCORM files. Depending on the scope of what you need there may be a charge for this. Please connect to discuss it with us.
